This photo was taken at Crown Center in Kansas City May 14th when I went up to see the American Heartland's production of The 39 Steps. What a wild and crazy show! Five of us went Cyrstal Meek, Mark Schuster, Charlene Grinsell and sister Storme and we all had a great time.
On the Playhouse front, rehearsals for Rashomon are underway with David Dennis and Abri Geist creating and teaching the big samurai sword fight to Jason LaCoss and Paul Snyder. It is so exciting to see this Japanese folk tale come to life on our stage. Thanks to Mark Anderson and his brother we now have one of the tall plaforms from Wichita Community Theater's production of To Kill A Mockingbird on stage waiting to be turned into the Big Rashomon Gate, and all the actors are working hard on their parts. We should be ready to open by June 2nd so mark your calenders and come get in on all the fun! See You Soon!
Everyone's hard work this last month has paid off – our first show for 2011, Rashomon, opened at the Playhouse June 2nd and we want everyone to come see a performance! Perhaps these production photos will tempt you to drive over to Kechi and check it out for yourself. Showtimes on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday is 8 pm while Sunday matinees start at 2:30. Tickets are $10 on Thursday evenings and Sunday afternoons and $11 on Fridays and Saturdays. Rashomon will run until June 26 and, while we recommend reservations, they aren't necessary – come on out and we will find space for YOU!
